Let’s Draw Sailor Mew!
In which I prattle on about early 00’s Sailor Moon fandom for awhile.

(COME WALLOW WITH ME)
Want to see Alex draw her super-pink crazyass crossover fan senshi and wax poetic about the Sailor Moon fandom circa 2000? Of course you do!
I wholeheartedly agree that the Sailor Moon fandom was the best place to grow up on the internet back in the day. We took refuge (HAHA JOKES) in messageboards of our OC idols and charm clubs – corners of the internet that no longer exist today. Sailor Orion, the Crystalstars, grep*, the SEC – how are you little Moonie tumblrteens gonna make it in this new era?!
Now I’m even more nostalgic for the old crew. Kairos, Hearth, Andromeda, Nemesis, Silver Dragon, Andi (what was her screen name even?) I’m forever grateful for such an amazing group to help guide me through my early adolescence and beyond. (See mom, the internet is good, okay?)
Now I’m combing my hard drive for artifacts of the time, and it’s a flipping goldmine. I need to put some of this on the site for sure, because Alex is right – I’ve been picking up and putting down and tinkering with this sillyass fanfic/comic since I was twelve. And I feel like that makes me sound like an insane person, but I figure what better way to get on the comics horse than with a story that’s meant so much to me?
Also, I should post old art as a regular feature, because this shit is hilarious. Throwback Thursdays, y/y?
Getting a little teary-eyed for the days of my internet youth. I hope whatever new levels of fandom the 2013 show spews forth will be as awesome a place as our little enclave was for us.
ALEX. I just realized we’re not so much older than Orion was then. Maybe we can shepherd a little. IT COULD BE SO CUTE
EEEEE you’re right. We are the elder, sagely folks who still remember the old tales!
